burnished leaves



nutmeg
ginger
cloves

and warm, filling meals
served fresh from the griddle

so
because it's fall
and
because i like you a lot

allow me
to introduce you to
my newest favorite
breakfast of champions

Gingerbread Pancakes

you'll thank me

really

you will

because these bad boys turned out

light

fluffy

and oh-so warm and gingerbready

to make

you will need some simple

and readily available ingredients like

flour

spices

eggs

butter

coffee

and stuff like that

which

you'll mix all up

and turn into pancakes 

which you'll then

transfer cakes to plates held

by grabby little hands

who will whisk them to

the nearest table

drown them in warm pools of

sticky maple syrup

and wolf them down

with periodic sighs of satisfaction

and garbled versions of thanks mom

try it and see for yourself
